Accretion Processes

Accretion Processes is an astrophysical process in star formation whereby gas and dust from a surrounding molecular cloud or circumstellar disc lose angular momentum and gravitationally infall onto a central protostellar object, thereby governing its mass growth and the dynamical evolution of the protostellar system.
